Yenagoa and its people are ancient settlers along the Ekole creek, which is an arm of the
River Nun. It is an Attissa settlement with some level of mixed breed from neighbouring
communities such as Epie, Ijaw and Ogbia. The people speak the Epie-Atissa language, which is
a branch of the Edoid group of languages of the Eastern Niger Congo which is also a part of the
Niger Kordofarioan (Wilfred Brugu Patterson, 1983). The Epie-Attissa language is quite
different from those of her closest neighbours of Ijaw and Ogbia, but has close affinity with the
Engenni and Degema languages in River State. All these languages are classified under the
larger Delta Edoid language sub-family. The people are peace-loving, withdrawn and
sometimes addressed as part of the “Inland creek dwellers”
